Hi,

Do you know what is maxPermSize? I have read few articles and they suggested to increase the number if you have a huge number of classes in your application. My question is are they talking about "huge number of UNIQUE classes" or "huge number of loaded classes(w/wo dupe)".

If they are talking about "huge number of UNIQUE classes", then I don't understand why I encountered an outofmemoryError when I run a load test. I created a load script that would ONLY hit several pages of my application repeatly. However, after a period of time, I encounter this error.

From this exception, you can see that after the full GC, I should have around 57M of heap available. Why?

Thanks,

Hi,

This page is good for explaing the GC algorithm:

http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc/

Perhaps you are out of perm space and should try to increase it?

These are tough, good luck.

I overlooked at the GC. Actually, I ran out of heap size since after the Full GC.
